Stelton's oil lamps are included in Phaidons design classics among the best design in the world.

With Stelton's oil lamps in satin polished stainless steel and clear glass you get beautiful view of the bright atmosphere setting flame behind the glass. Or maybe you prefer the white look and the softer light from the same lamps with sand blown glass? The cozy lighting of the oil lamps makes out door dining in May and the summer months more beautiful experience and like the other lamps they are also fine bright points outside during the dark months.
